**********************************************************************

This gentleman is the son of Joseph and Patsey Watts, and was born in
Halifax County, Virginia, July 6th, 1818.  His parents were native 
Virginians, and his father was a soldier in the War of 1812.  He grew
to manhood in his native county upon the farm, and at the age of 
twenty-five he learned the saddler's trade, which he has followed in
connection with farming until the present.  In 1857 he went to Lincoln
County, Kentucky, where he carried on the saddlery business at Crab
Orchard until 1879.  He then came to this county, settling at Ash
Grove, but in 1880 removed to Greenfield, and in 1881 came back to
Greene and located permanently in Bois D'Arc, where he and his nephew
carried on the saddle and harness business very successfully.  Mr. 
Watts has reared two of his nephews, though never married.  He has 
been a consistent member of the Methodist Church for forty years, and
is regarded by all as an upright, Christian gentleman.
